Running is a sport that requires practitioners to exercise great will power. From a neophyte's first run all the way to competitive marathoners runners have to fight against discomfort, pain and mental exhaustion. Running is a very direct sport which presents two very easy options, to run or to stop.
This article deals with answering that question of when to stop running and when to continue running. Because of the nature of the sport, runners often get confused on when to stop.
Before anything else it is worth mentioning that the human body will feel all sort of soreness when it is first exposed to a certain stimuli that it hasn't before encountered. If you are used to running 1 mile and suddenly push yourself to 2 then you will most certainly feel sore days after the session.
With that being said runners must recognize the different levels of pain. This is the key to knowing when to run and when not to. We'll discuss briefly the differences between them.
First is soreness. Soreness as mentioned above is your body's way of telling you that it is recuperating from your previous exercise. Muscle tissue may have been actually broken down and are rebuilding themselves stronger. It is best not to continually run when you are sore. Getting a day's break or two is important.
Soreness is different from milder pain because generally pain involves a localized area. Milder pain can be tolerated and even forgotten as you start to run. Sometimes we can easily forget milder pain when we are busy thinking about something else. This intensity means you can run. Take good care monitoring areas that might feel pain. This type of pain usually goes away by itself.
The next type would be moderate levels. The easiest way to know if it is at this level is when it persists. Unlike the previous milder pain, this does not go away after running. But it's dull enough to be able to "will yourself" through. It is very important to remember that you can run through it as long as it is bearable (just enough to let you know it's there, but not enough to make you cringe) and does not alter you running gait (i.e., make you limp).
The third level would be pain that you cannot bear. Only the strongest type of runners can run through this pain. And it is wise for them not to. Continuing to run on this pain threshold will damage any runner permanently. What is best is to rest and go to a doctor immediately. Try not to be tempted to take pain killers just so you could run. Doing so can drastically shorten your running career.
This article touches the subject of running through pain very lightly. It is the hope of the author that runners listen more to their bodies and not push beyond its ability to recover and heal itself. With that being said it is always wise to invest in the correct running shoes because this is one of the best ways to avoid running pain.
The Brooks Ghost 3 is a great shoe for those with high arches. Rewarding yourself this Black Friday? Check out the Running Shoe Clearance deals we collected for this season.

Equine Exercise Physiology (Paperback) $160.72 Equine exercise physiology is an area that has been subject to major scientific advances over the last 30 years, largely due to the increased availability of high-speed treadmills and techniques for recording physiological function during exercise. Despite the scientific advances, many riders and trainers are still using little more than experience and intuition to train their horses.The aim of this book is to sort the fact from the fiction for the benefit of those involved in training, managing or working with horses, and to provide an up-to-date summary of the state of play in equine exercise physiology. Scientific theories are explained from first principles, with the assumption that the reader has no previous scientific background. The book is designed to save competitors and trainers a lot of time and effort trying to extract information in piecemeal fashion from a host of reference sources. For the first time, everything you need to know about exercising and training horses is here in one text. |

The Business of Exercise Physiology $159.95 This book contains the information that Board Certified Exercise Physiologists need to start and manage a profitable healthcare business. In addition to helping physiologists understand what it takes to start a business, the book also addresses the importance of a business plan. The more information that exercise physiologists have at the beginning, the more likely they are going to be successful. The idea is to identify what is needed as an entrepreneur to get started and how to be successful at growing your own business. This book is a declaration of intent and permission to “just do it.” |

Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Fourth Edition $25.76 The leading textbook for undergraduate exercise physiology courses, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, is back in an updated fourth edition that is better than ever after extensive external reviews of the previous edition by nine content experts. Renowned authors Jack Wilmore and David Costill add the expertise of W. Larry Kenney to bring a fresh perspective to the organization and content of the fourth edition.Building on the positive feedback of previous editions, Physiology of Sport and Exercise, Fourth Edition, presents the complex relationship between human physiology and exercise in a format that is more comprehensive for students than other comparable texts. Ease of reading and understanding is the cornerstone for this popular text, and students will experience a depth and breadth of content balanced with unique and effective learning features: -Online learning. The text is automatically packaged with an access code for the online student guide. With the inclusion of the access code in the text, students will be reminded to access the Web site more readily. The convenient Web site format of the student guide allows students to practice, review, and develop knowledge and skills about the physiology of sport and exercise.-Accessible layout. The book is divided into seven parts, each with opening text that briefly describes the contents of the chapters in that part. Chapter outlines with page numbers help students locate material, including the related online study guide activities. -Keys to comprehension. In each chapter, key points and key terms are highlighted. The key terms are listed at the end of the chapter and defined in the glossary, thus increasing students' opportunities for recall, transfer of information, and self-testing.-Review and reflection. Review boxesscattered throughout each chapter remind students of the major points presented. Study questions allow students to test their knowledge of the chapter's contents. Reminders of available study guide activities encourage students to explore additional learning opportunities.-Reference and extended study. A comprehensive glossary and a thorough index help students navigate both the text and subject matter. Plus, a listing of references and selected readings provide additional information about topics of special interest. -Abbreviations and conversions. A list of common abbreviations on the inside front cover and a list of conversions on the inside back cover of the text provide a quick and easy reference for students while they complete labs and assignments.In an effort to reduce “backpack bulge,” the fourth edition has been carefully streamlined to offset the addition of new chapters or pages. Updated research, modernized artwork, and a reorganization of material provide a focused and effective presentation of concepts within a slightly smaller—and lighter—textbook. Chapters regarding nutrition and body composition are now combined to reduce information overlap, and re... |
